LGBT News US Marines investigated for gun threat to LGBT venues in wake of Orlando masacre

Two actively serving US Marines are being investigated for posting a photo with an assault rifle with a threat against LGBT venues, just days after 49 people were killed in as mass shooting at a gay bar in Orlando, Florida.

The photo of a Marine, in uniform, with an assault rifle, appeared to have been taken from the social media app Snapchat.

It was captioned with the words “Coming to a gay bar near you!”.

The photo was posted to the ‘Camp MENdleton resale’ Facebook group, which is a closed group for male Marines with over 25,000 members.

According to reports, the photo was posted with the words “Too soon?”.

First Lt. Thomas Gray, a spokesman for I Marine Expeditionary Force (I MEF), told Marine Corps Times that both the Marine in the photo and the one who posted it to the Facebook group were being investigated.

Aside from what this situation was specifically about, I hate it when people make some stupid joke about an unfortunate event and then do the whole "too soon?" thing. It just seems like a terrible thing to do, especially if it hasn't even been a week since the specific event.
